GreatSeats Ticket Broker -- on the left hand side. Better than Stub Hub for last minute tickets, FYI

I think he is talking about my post about Dungy which I started uncomfirmed.

No, I was referring to the Mora thread.

I started a thread regarding Ray Brown without a link. I heard it over the radio.

My bad if it bothered anyone.

There are a lot of things that could have been done on that thread to avoid/curtail the mass hysteria.

Be absolutely clear about where you got the information. I heard it on the radio is fine if you add where exactly you heard it. Take Redskins_P's Ray Brown thread for example. He was specific in saying he heard it on SporsTalk 980. Identify the station you heard it on.

If you didn't hear it yourself, but a friend did then say so. "Hey guys, my buddy just told me he was listening to WPTH 1300 AM up in Hagerstown and they're reporting the Redskins just hired Jim Mora. Has anyone else heard anything on this? Thanks"

Thanks to various other resources we can identify pretty quickly what's a legit rumor to follow and what's not

(I realize this is all kind of ironic coming from me, who often has to post "off the record" sources)

Exactly. I wasn't trying to be an ass about it, but you pretty much summed it up. Honestly, I could care less about all the other rumors out there right now, it's just the one regarding our new coach that I'm concerned with.

I think everyone is on pins and needles until they come out and officially name Gregg Williams.

Alrite ill take note -- i said i didnt have confirmation, i realize it caused a scare
I also financially support this board via advertising and have been a good poster for 3 years now, so give me a fucking break.. jeez

If you've been a poster on here for 3 years you would have noticed the hypertext that people place in postings that link their cited sources in a big announcement.

Simple protocol. My personal contention is that you were trying to intentionally incite the board with a weak thread, which you pulled off successfully...well done.

I guess this would be a bad time to bring up a rumor I heard that Synder was going to bring back Spurrier who in turn was going to hire Ramsey as his Offensive Coordinator and Lavar as his Defensive coordinator.

No big deal, just gave us a scare is all. It's all good.
